Volunteer

Cambridge brings together the most brilliant minds and allows them to freely interact, learn and discover. This is how we change the world and our volunteers play an instrumental role in helping achieve this.

Volunteering for Cambridge provides the opportunity to meet some extraordinary people and develop new skills, while gaining a unique insight into one of the most globally renowned universities. You can have a big influence on the lives of our current and prospective students.

Volunteering roles

Our Careers Service, Colleges, Departments, museums and collections provide a huge breadth of volunteering opportunities. These range from strategic positions on our many boards and committees, to running Alumni Groups and assisting at local events such as the highly successful Science Festival.

Volunteering story

”I volunteered to serve on the local Alumni Committee, because it gave me the opportunity of giving something back to the University and society in general, for all the things that I had learnt from that early experience”

David Rees, Secretary of the Cambridge Society of Australia (Victoria)
